Spoken word narration set to music that recounts the history of the 1907 massacre of Chilean nitrate miners. 18,000 workers and their families marched to the port of Santa Maria de Inquique demanding fair wages and working conditions. The Chilean government, which had strong stakes in the nitrate industry, ordered the Chilean army to attack the miners' nonviolent protest at the port. 2,000 people were killed and thousands were injured. The album serves to tell this silenced history, and demonstrates the determination and solidarity of the Chilean miner unions. Includes liner notes with history, photographs, and lyrics.
